by Templeton, Shaw, Barta, Simone, & Morrison Bart Simpson's annual tour de force of tricks and treats turns up a pleasingly putrid and asphxiatingly amusing anthology of Halloween humor. Ty Templeton (Stig's Inferno, Batman: Gotham Adventures, and Justice League Adventures) tells a tale of the Simpsons from beyond the grave, as Grampa accidentally causes the death of his loved ones, and a surprising number of grieving and greedy heirs come to claim the Simpson home. In tip of the hat to Stephen King and Big Daddy Roth, Scott Shaw (Oddball Comics!) takes you behind the wheel of a clown car gone mad in "Krustine." Hilary Barta (Splash Brannigan, Plastic Man) teaches you the ABCs of Halloween, and Gail Simone (Deadpool, Killer Princesses) delivers a ghastly goody that will leave you deliciously delirious. FC, 48pg $3.50 Cover price $3.50.
